About Little Creek Casino Resort

The Little Creek Casino Resort feels worlds away from civilization in the rustic Kamilche Valley, but in reality is only 15 minutes south of Olympia and less than an hour from Chambers Bay, the 2015 U.S. Open host. The hotel offers newly renovated rooms and suites, the Seven Inlets Spa, an events center, five different restaurants, a coffee café and the casino, home to slots, table games, a cigar and wine bar and the Starlight Lounge featuring live music, DJs and karaoke. The Salish Cliffs Golf Club is one of the state’s premier courses, roaming across 600 feet of elevation changes and lush evergreen forests.

Amazing Course

As good of a course as you could want to play. Fairways and greens are perfect. I played Bandon Trails a few years back and the overall conditions and attention to detail at Salish Cliffs reminded me of Bandon Trails. Playing here is a big golf experience. Preferred it over Newcastle, Suncadia and Gold Mountain. Toss up between here and Chambers Bay - they are so different.

Go play this course

I played this course May 25th 2013 and it was great! Got caught in a bad rain storm but ended up waiting it out in the club house. I ordered an amazing Bacon Club house Burger (Totally Recommend) The great thing about the course is the pre round range balls and the GPS on the carts.

I really appreciated the staffs help, they were quick to answer any questions and helpful with local course knowledge. Everything plays just a little bit longer than expected. Take about 1 club longer than you think you need.

Besides not being able to take your cart to your car in the parking lot and damp condition (better fairway drainage) I would totally recommend playing this course!

Enjoy and make sure you him em straight

The course was in great shape

I played this course as a single, so the pace of play was fast.The farways were cut low as were the greens. The day I played I had rain showers but greens rolled true and fast.

VERY FUN COURSE AND UNPROFESSIONALISM BEHIND THE COUNTER.. BEWARE!

I would have given this place five stars instead of 4 had it not been for the Pro behind the counter who was very unprofessional! A previous review mentions how the the gentleman behind the counter in the pro shop didn't seem to care if you were there.. Boy was that dead on! It seems to be a common theme in these reviews.

Beautiful layout

Very beautiful course, well maintained, and difficult. Play was somewhat slow due to the 4 some in front of our group. A long drive from Seattle for a day trip. Tried to book a stay and play directly, but the advertised price for the package was not available. Golfnow offered the best alternative. Course standard rate is a little pricy, but the Golfnow deal was a great value.

Not your typical NW course.

Love the bent grass greens....a little slower than they look, but if you put the ball on line and stroke it well, it will go in!!
That said, the fringe areas are really spongy. If you pitch it in to the fringe...it will die and most likely not get to where you played it.
If you putt or chip from the fringe....you'd better strike it on the upstroke because hitting down will kill any momentum due to the sponginess.
Very interesting holes and great conditioning!

Course is tough & challenging.

Went with 2 friends up there and I have never been treated so bad by someone who says they are a professional golfer.
I've been in the golf business for 16 years now.
And I have never seen a pro so RUDE in all my life.
Bcuz of how we were treated by the staff.
We will not be going back there.

course nice looking some great holes

thought the course was good-great holes fun to play--startter,cart guys really great--pro shop on the other hand was sad-the person behind the counter should find another job where customer service is not required-he acted as though he didn't care whether we where there or not--I would never play this course based on the service if I had to pay full price--this is a good 40.00 course but not 90.00--it seemed that the traps all had footprints -there was no cart person on the course and no marshels -for the money they ask they need to get customer service people in their pro shop

Keep it in the fairway!

Great course, well maintained but rather wet. We had a couple of days of rain before playing and there were many places in the fairway with casual water, even on the slopes. The rough is long and difficult to find a ball because it is so thick. We played in about 4 3/4 hours mostly because we spent time searching for our drives. It is a cart only course and the day we played we were restricted to cart paths which I think happens often. The GPS in the carts gave good info but very few sprinklers with yardage on the course. Why can't courses put the old fashioned 100, 150...etc. markers on the fairways? Despite all that, we will be back. Only 15 minutes from Olympia.

Creative course design

I have golfed in some top world ranked golf courses. Although this course has some good bones, it currently does not merit the full rate it is charging. I paid $45, but the greens had just been punched. Unfortunately, there were numerous areas of sloppy mowing, lots of long, clumpy grass clippings left near greens and fairways. Bunkers have great sand, but they did not trim the edges, so it looked unkept. Fairways were smooth and well maintained. Some excellent options on a number of holes, big bombers can go for it!

Nice track

Course is somewhat challenging. Rough was starting to grow and was heavy and wet. Otherwise, course was in good condition and greens were fast, compared to other courses in the area. The pace of play was slow, but we were alerted to this. First really nice day of Spring and on a Sat. Could have seen the refreshment cart more frequently though.

Fantastic Track

This course quickly became one of my absolute favorites. They really do everything right. Clubhouse, bag drop, restaurant, and obviously the course. All fantastic and done right. Challenging and beautiful holes with plenty of tees for golfers of all kind. Can't say enough good about this track.

This course is beautifully designed and manicured.

The plush fairways and scenic elevation changes make this a favorite of mine. Well worth the money, it starts with a warm reception right away followed by practice balls on a beautiful range, then the real fun begins with the course offering many many many challenges to attack. Enjoy all of them.
